Loyalties have been broken and bought, friends have been lost and gained, and

world.” –WorldCat

Escape from Asylum by Madeleine Roux

Asylum; Prequel

“Ricky Desmond has been through all this before. If he could just get
through to his mother, he could convince her that he doesn't belong at
Brookline. From the man who thinks he can fly to the woman who killed her
husband, the other patients are nothing like him; all he did was lose his
temper just a little bit, just the once. But when Ricky is selected by the
sinister Warden Crawford for a very special programme--a programme that the
warden claims will not cure him but perfect him--Ricky realizes that he may not
be able to wait for his mom a second longer. With the help of a sympathetic
nurse and a fellow patient, Ricky needs to escape now.” –WorldCat

Replica by Lauren Oliver

“Replica is a flip book that contains two narratives in one, and it is
the first in a duology. Turn the book one way and read Lyra’s story; turn the
book over and upside down and read Gemma’s story. The stories can be read
separately, one after the other, or in alternating chapters. While the stories
of Lyra and Gemma mirror each other, each contains breathtaking revelations
critically important to the other story.” –Amazon

Take the Key and Lock Her Up by Ally Carter

hide from Prime Minister Alexandra Petrovic and the secret society that is part
of Grace's family heritage, and even harder to know who to trust.” –WorldCat

memories, and Simon isn’t sure who he is anymore. So when the Shadowhunter
Academy reopens, Simon throws himself into this new world of demon-hunting,
determined to find himself again. Whomever this new Simon might be. But the Academy is a Shadowhunter institution, which means it has some
problems. Like the fact that non-Shadowhunter students have to live in the
basement. At least Simon’s trained in weaponry—even if it’s only from hours of
playing D&D.” –Amazon
